  • Goedhuis, April 2016, Score: 90-92

    Excellent concentration of dark cassis aromas on the nose. Chalky, powdery tannins flow across the palate, and this 2015 showcases the lovely fresh lift so characteristic of the vintage.

  • Neal Martin, July 2019, Score: 91+

    The 2015 Lagrange could perhaps benefit from a little more freshness and brightness on the nose, though it has a mineral drive that surfaces with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a fine bead of acidity, moderate depth but very strict and showing slight attenuation toward the finish. It does quite deliver on the improved showing in bottle compared to barrel, although, like Gruaud Larose, I suspect this is just entering an awkward phase. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

  • Neal Martin, April 2016, Score: 90-92

    The 2015 Lagrange is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot, continuing the estate's philosophy including more Cabernet in the Grand Vin (for example, in 2005 it was just 46%.) Cropped at 50 hl/ha and matured in around 50% to 55% new oak from six different cooperages, it has a tightly-knit bouquet with blackberry, cedar and light rose petal scents, elegant in style. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannin, moderate weight in the mouth, not as intense as either the 2009 or 2010, although it is harmonious and graceful. There is a pleasant spicy, white pepper note that lingers on the aftertaste of what should be one of the earlier drinking Saint Julien wines.

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2016, Score: 88-91

    The 2015 Lagrange is quite powerful and deep, but the tannins are also imposing. It will be interesting to see if the Lagrange fleshes out with time. Today, it is a bit austere and compact. Stylistically, the Lagrange is quite different from the second wine, the Fiefs, but from a purely qualitative standpoint I don't see a meaningful difference today. In a second tasting, the Lagrange showed more fruit, but also a riper, more stewed profile. Tasted two times.

  • Decanter, April 2016, Score: 92

    Fleshy, spicy red and black fruits of good florality and grip, with balanced acidity and tannins. Shows the continued progress of this highly regarded estate.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2016, Score: 16++?

    (75 Cabernet Sauvignon, 17 Merlot, 8 Petit Verdot) There is quite a lot of dryness here and the oak is blunt and firm, which is somewhat of a signature for Lagrange, and while I keep wishing it would go away, it doesn’t, and this tips the wine out of balance and loses it any chance of appealing to my palate. I can sense great Cabernet here which makes my disappointment all the more acute.

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2016, Score: 16.5++

    Lightly meat and two veg on the nose. Juicy - juicer than usual with the tannins well covered up by ripe fruit. Bone dry but not austere. Very correct even if not amazingly winning. Drink 2025-2039

  • Tim Atkin, May 2016, Score: 92

    The recent investments in the vineyard and cellar at this large, Japanese-owned property are starting to pay dividends. Fresh, aromatic and stylishly oaked, this is at the lighter end of the St. Julien spectrum, but has enough Cabernet backbone to age well. Drink: 2020-30

  • Wine Spectator, April 2016, Score: 89-92

    Nicely packed, with enticing red and black currant fruit that is enlivened with anise, sweet tobacco and incense notes. Lightly toasty, with just a little tug of cedar at the end.

Region

St Julien

St Julien is like the middle child of the Médoc - not as assertive as Pauillac or as coquettish as Margaux. It lies firmly between the two more outspoken communes and as a result produces a blend of them both. St Julien's wines have often been sought out by aficionados for their balance and consistency, particularly in the UK. Yet due to its middle child nature, it can occasionally be overlooked globally and as a result underrated by those markets outside the UK. Despite the fact that it has no first growths, it has several second growths including Léoville Las Cases, Léoville Barton, Léoville Poyferré and Ducru Beaucaillou as well as the celebrated châteaux such as Talbot and Beychevelle.
